Chapter 99: Discipline

Humans are creatures who live by curiosity.

How can we sustain life if we aren’t curious about what will happen tomorrow?

People wanted to know things hidden as secrets much more than things that were plainly revealed.

Most notably, there were many people who wanted to know the faces of broadcasters who didn’t reveal their faces, especially female broadcasters.

‘I’m fulfilling the desires of those people.’

Choi Lee-Hyun, a man in his late 20s, was the operator of a site called ‘Red Pill Storage’.

At first, he was just scraping together the faces of broadcasters who hadn’t revealed their faces from various sources and posting them to gain attention.

But with much more attention and visitors than he expected, it started to become profitable.

He hung a bunch of illegal gambling ads that made money.

As he collected more information and more red pills to increase visitors, he made so much money that it felt foolish to work at a company.

Why do labor when you can make money so easily like this?

It was so easy to get money that the people working for minimum wage or around that amount all seemed like fools.

So, he wasn’t greatly affected when the red pill sites were terrorized.

Because he could just laugh and dismiss whatever insults people hurled at him as the rantings of fools who didn’t know how to make money.

Rather, with the competitors removed, traffic increased even more, and more money came in.

He thought his winning streak would continue.

“Choi Lee-Hyun.”

“Who are you?”

“I am arresting you for violating the Act on the Protection of Personal Information and the Act on the Punishment, etc. of Stalking Crimes.”

Police officers suddenly putting handcuffs on him.

“No! No! Do you have a warrant!?”

“Here is the arrest warrant. Let’s go to the station and talk.”

If he had hidden like the other sites when they were being taken down, he wouldn’t have been arrested.

The price of being intoxicated by the sweetness of advertising revenue and mistakenly believing that he was a great person who satisfied others was heavy.

Choi Lee-Hyun, 28 years old, illegal site operator, arrested when he came out of his house to go to the convenience store.

Choi Lee-Hyun, who thought he would never be caught because he had servers overseas and hired a straw man in Central and South America.

The route he was caught through was an internet community.

He boasted about his money and despised others in the community, and the resentful opponent scraped together data from all over the internet and reported it to the police station.

He tripped and fell because of his vanity.

[Author: ㅇㅇ] [Mom, when are you coming back… I’m tired….]

[Jeonjeonseol absent for 11 days….

My time stopped on that day….]

─[Wouldn’t a cold be gone in 11 days? You guys got abandoned ㅋㅋ]

└[She could really be sick, why are you talking like that?]

└[I don’t care ㅋㅋ]

└[Your ** **** **]

└[Triggered?]

[Author: ㅇㅇ] [The guys who spread the gallery owner’s face will definitely get their karma]

[The guys who spread what she didn’t want to reveal so stubbornly that they made her quit broadcasting

I will definitely make them pay the price]

─[You’re naive ㅋㅋ It’s all a trick to grow the broadcast]

└[If it’s a trick to grow the broadcast, why is she absent for 11 days ㅅㅂ]

└[Please let it be a trick, please turn on the broadcast]

└[ㅅㅄㅄㅄㅄㅄㅄㅄㅄㅂ]

─[She hasn’t quit yet, why are you talking like she quit]

─[Gallery owner come back!!!!]

[Author: ㅇㅇ] [At this point, let’s revisit the Jeonjeonseol sickly beautiful girl theory]

[Hand size is 13cm: Underdeveloped

Taken to the emergency room during the Challenger marathon

Broadcasting at an unreasonable pace and bedridden for 11 days

Could have a serious illness or at least not healthy

Jeonjeonseol is a sickly, pitiful, pure, beautiful girl….]

─[How can she have such a big chest if she’s underdeveloped?]

└[It’s the mystery of the human body]

─[She’s good at games, has a lot of money, and is a beautiful girl, but she also has a weakness, which is that she’s not healthy]

└[Please don’t be sick ㅠㅠ Please turn on the broadcast too ㅠㅠ]

[Author: ㅇㅇ] [By the way, what’s with Jeonjeonseol playing ranked games?????]

[She can’t broadcast because she’s sick, but she’s doing behind-the-scenes ranked????????]

─[You have to prevent demotion]

└[Maintaining Challenger is a major issue]

─[I think she’s taking a break because she’s pissed about the face reveal]

└[What if she really quits ㅅㅂ]

Seol-A’s cold was gone in 3 days.

Because of Seol-Yoon’s devoted nursing.

Seol-A was worried about Seol-Yoon not even going to school,

But Seol-Yoon reassured her by saying, ‘Pre-med grades aren’t included in the intern and residency grades anyway’.

Was that reassuring?

Seol-A isn’t a boomer who forces unconditional diligence, so if Seol-Yoon is acting with a firm vision, isn’t it okay…?

In the first place, she’s not living an exemplary life that would allow her to demand diligence from someone else.

Anyway, on the 4th day of absence, Seol-A had completely recovered.

But browsing the Light It bulletin board and the Teamfight Arena gallery, she felt strange.

People repenting that they were once face-revealers.

People crying that it’s too empty without the broadcast.

People trembling with anxiety that she might disappear like this.

People raising torches and rising up to kill the red pill spreaders…….

Curious about how they’re doing it, she’s been watching them dig up the past actions of the red pill site administrator and starting a cyber witch hunt.

Of course, she knows that it’s not a healthy culture, but the sight of the enemy forces burning always makes humans feel ecstatic.

Curious about how far it will go, she’s been watching, and Seol-A suddenly thought.

Burning bulletin boards are fun.

I wish it would burn even more fiercely.

Was I working too hard on the broadcast?

Isn’t it that value goes up when you rest moderately?

Seol-A, who was tainted by such wicked thoughts, was taking a break even on the 11th day of absence.

Lee Jun – <Is it still too hard to turn on the broadcast?>

Jeonseol-A – <No>

Jeonseol-A – <I told you I got better a long time ago>

Jeonseol-A – <Since it’s come to this, I was thinking of resting a little>

Jeonseol-A – <I have to give the editor some editing time too>

Lee Jun – <Then you should at least post a notice>

Lee Jun – <People are worried>

Jeonseol-A – <But I’m also a little annoyed at the guys who spread my face?>

Jeonseol-A – <It’s burning well on its own, so I want to watch?>

Lee Jun – <Don’t look at the community too much>

Lee Jun – <It’s not good for your mental health>

Lee Jun – <And what did the normal viewers do wrong?>

Lee Jun – <The troublemakers are a minority>

Lee Jun, who had been ridiculed the most among Korean pro gamers.

Seol-A was at a loss for words when Lee Jun said that.

Jeonseol-A – <It’s not that I didn’t think about that>

Jeonseol-A – <The normal viewers are beating up the troublemakers right now?>

Jeonseol-A – <Then isn’t me not turning on the broadcast giving them more justification?>

Jeonseol-A – <This is a religious war….>

Jeonseol-A – <It’s a holy war!>

Lee Jun – <You’re a little scary>

Lee Jun – <But if viewers drop because of that, it’ll be harder for you?>

I’m not like that.

The number of viewers is too high and it’s burdensome.

I don’t know why people who hate me watch the broadcast.

I wish it would get smaller.

Seol-A swallowed those words.

She wasn’t twisted enough to argue back to someone who was concerned about her.

No, is she only especially generous to ‘the relationship from that time’?

A really short and vague relationship that proves that the past self clearly existed.

And the 12th day of absence.

[Author: Jeonjeonseol] [There will be a broadcast today.]

[It wasn’t that I was very sick, so don’t worry too much.

I will see you at 4 PM, the original broadcast time.

Thank you to those who waited.]

Finally, a notice was posted.

Instantly, the comments exceeded 30, welcoming Seol-A.

And when the broadcast was turned on again,

<You’re back, Jeon Tae-Sik!>

<I believed in you, d*mn it!>

<I missed you, Jeonseol-jjang!>

<I destroyed 3 red pill sites while you were gone, Jeonseol> -Deleted message.

<Finally!>

<This b*tch came to collect on Valentine’s Day ㅋㅋ>

The chat window showed feverish support.

“Turning on the broadcast on March 14th is a coincidence. There is absolutely no intention.”

<Of course, we believe you>

<Lol ㄹㅇ ㅋㅋ>
<It’s absolutely not that she came back to coincide with the anniversary>

<March 14th is Mathematics Day>

<It’s called Pi Day>

In the usual chat window atmosphere, they should have been pushing her as a money-grubber.

But the broadcast that turned on after 12 days was welcome, and the atmosphere was tight.

However, two things were strange.

One was that the speed at which viewers were increasing was strangely slow, and the other was that donations were not flying in at all.

‘Why isn’t the number of viewers increasing from 500?’

To be exact, it is increasing.

But very slowly.

At this rate, when will it hit 10,000 or 20,000?

And is the reason why donations aren’t flying in because of the sense of crisis about the rug-pulling, so they don’t want to throw money anymore?
